...usually. I would have to dispute their aceness in Sheffield. They were obviously tired as hell, and dropped two (three?) songs, plus Brian decided not to grace us with his presence for the encore. That boy can really throw his toys out of the pram.

i don't really think he was throwing his toys out of the pram! I was standing right in front of him and it was obivous by his face that he was in A LOT of pain!
For the record, the setlist i got suggests they dropped girl anachronism (was i was a little pissed off about)and pierre, with dirty business and truce as encore. But we did get deliah instead, and that's a fucking great song!

I'm surprised he could play Half Jack like that if his wrist was seriously hurt, and it was apparently perfectly okay 48 hours later in Birmingham. He was obviously pretty unhappy from the moment they arrived on stage and kept moaning and stalling well before he started whispering to Amanda, and she announced his "injury". And yeah, how long does it take to say: "I've hurt my wrist"? I wish I could lip-read.

was amazing. I agree with everything you say, espcially the bit about the girls who talked all the way through. Last I checked I din't pay to listen to them talk really LOUDLY so they could hear each other over the band. Do you think it was the same girls or were we in a room full of irritating people who go to gigs to be seen?

Didn't spoil it though as they were fantatsic. The reaction they got from most of the crowd was great as well, don't think I've ever seen a more ecstatic bunch.

They were fantastic, with Violent Femmes, Black Sabbath and T-rex all being covered. Some annoying girls were talking throughout it mind, and when someone asked them to be quiet they laughed in her face. Twats.
